Important Safety Instructions

When using your video equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read and understand all instructions before using.
2. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.

3. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the appliance should be used. Cords rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.

4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this appliance. Contact an authorized service dealer when repair work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is used subsequently.

5. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

Screen Operation

Screen Operation (continued)

1. The Ascender screen can be operated by the included wall switch or by optional remote controls (IR or RF).
2. To raise the screen, simply push and release the wall switch. The screen will stop at its preset position. If you push the switch a second time while it is rising, the screen will stop. By pushing the switch a third time the screen will retract and close.
3. To lower the screen from the fully up position, press and release the wall switch and the screen will retract and close.
4. Test the screen by running it up and down a few times. Be prepared to stop the screen if needed.

AUTION! Excessive continuous operation may cause overheating. If this happens, the motor will shut off until it cools to normal operating temperature. Standard duty cycle is 1 min. on / 15 min. off.

1. For installations where the Ascender will be set on the floor, the box must be secured to floor in at least six places (recommended hardware is #12 x 2' L wood screws)(Figure 1).

2. For installations where the Ascender will be recessed into the floor, the box must be secured in at least six places (recommended hardware is #12 x 2" L wood screws)(Figure2).

LOW VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS:

Wall Switch

1. Install wall switch where desired.
2. Use 2 conductor 20-24 gauge wire to extend the switch wire to the required length.
3. Connect the wire from the switch to the wire labeled "wall switch". Refer to Figure 3.

CAUTION: Never apply voltage to the wall switch lead or the LVC will be damaged.

A control panel may be connected to the LVC by using the wall switch wire lead. The control panel must provide a momentary, dry contact closure of at least 1/2 second.

1. Use 2-conductor 20-24 gauge wire to connect the control panel to the wall switch lead.
2. A momentary closure when the screen is down will be an "up" command.
3. A momentary closure when the screen is fully extended will be a "down" command.

120V/240V Connections:

AC Power Source

1. Refer to Figure 3 for electrical connections. Wiring designated as external is to be completed by installer conforming to local and national codes.

NOTE: Must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the Local Building Codes, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), CAN/CSA C22.1 and the National Electric Code (NEC), NFPA 70. An appropriate disconnect device shall be provided as part of the building installation.

1. Use 14-18-gauge wire to connect power to the LVC wires labeled "AC power input". Refer to Figure 3.
2. Connect the building ground wire to the ground lug on the metal housing.

Optional Wireless Remote Connections:

Radio Frequency Remote

1. Remove the center cover plate of the LVC box.
2. Route the receiver wire through the round plastic bushing and plug it into the onboard socket marked "EYE". Refer to Figure 3.

Infrared Remote

Screen Adjustment

The screen stop positions are preset at the factory. Should it be necessary to adjust for more or less travel proceed as follows (Figure 4).

To Increase Screen Height

To Decrease Screen Height

1. Turn white limit adjuster clockwise one-quarter turn at a time. Run the screen up to test the stop position. Lower the screen about one foot and turn limit adjuster again. Repeat until the desired position is set.

To Adjust The Down Position

1. Raise the screen about one foot and stop. Turn the red limit adjuster counterclockwise one-quarter turn to increase the down travel.
   CAUTION! Do not adjust the screen down too far. This will strain the motor and screen. The lid of the box should just close when the motor stops.
   ATTENTION: Ne déroulez pas trop l'écran. Cela forcera le moteur et l'écran. Le couvercle du caisson devrait se fermer lorsque le moteur s'arrête.
2. Turn the red limit adjuster clockwise one-quarter turn at a time to decrease the amount of down travel. Run the screen down to test the stop position. Repeat until the desired position is set.
